Third sector and social economy entities have a new window for European financing for healthy extracurricular activity programs aimed at minors at risk of exclusion. The Order SND/677/2026, of June 26, approves the regulatory bases and the 2026 call of the "Afternoons with Plan 2" program, the second edition of this initiative within the State Program for Social Inclusion, Child Guarantee and Fight against Poverty 2021-2027.
The call is published and enters into force on the same day, July 6, 2026, so the deadlines for preparing the application begin to run from now.
What does this regulation establish?
Order SND/677/2026 simultaneously approves the regulatory bases and the 2026 call of the "Afternoons with Plan 2" program. This is the second edition: the 2025 call already selected 11 operations in 28 provinces.
The purpose of the program is to finance operations that develop extracurricular programs promoting healthy lifestyles for children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, with special attention to areas with lower per capita income.
The selection of operations is carried out through competitive bidding. The two intervention modalities are:
| Modality | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum Intervention Units (general version) | Standard scope operations for healthy extracurricular programs in vulnerable areas |
| Minimum Intervention Units (reduced version) | Smaller scale version, adapted to entities or territories with lower operational capacity |
| Special Implementation Actions | Singular operations of special impact or territorial scope |
Financing comes from FSE+ within the framework of the State Program for Social Inclusion, Child Guarantee and Fight against Poverty 2021-2027, with execution of selected operations until December 2029.
Economic and operational impact
For entities that are selected, this call represents access to European financing co-financed by FSE+, which implies:
- European co-financing through FSE+ within the multi-year framework 2021-2027, with execution horizon until December 2029.
- Broad territorial scope: the previous edition covered 28 provinces with 11 operations, which gives a reference for the expected implementation volume.
- Geographic priority for areas with lower per capita income, which may favor entities with presence in territories with higher vulnerability index.
- Competitive bidding: entities must prepare a solid application that competes with other organizations in the sector.
The call does not detail in the Order the maximum amounts per operation, so interested entities must consult the complete regulatory bases published in the BOE to know the financing ceilings by modality.
Who does it affect?
- Non-profit entities (associations, foundations, NGOs) that develop programs with children and adolescents in vulnerable situations.
- Social economy entities (social initiative cooperatives, insertion companies, special employment centers with social activity, etc.) with activity in the field of child inclusion.
- Organizations with presence or capacity to intervene in areas of lower per capita income, which have priority in the call.
- Entities that already participated in the 2025 call and want to continue or expand their operation.
- New entities joining the program that meet the requirements of the regulatory bases.
Practical example
A non-profit foundation based in a low per capita income province that already manages extracurricular activities for minors in vulnerable neighborhoods can apply to the 2026 call under the modality of Minimum Intervention Units (general version).
If selected —as happened with the 11 operations from the 2025 call that covered 28 provinces—, it will receive FSE+ co-financing to execute its program from the grant resolution until December 2029, which gives it a planning horizon of several years to consolidate the project.
A smaller entity or one with presence in a single municipality can opt for the modality of Minimum Intervention Units (reduced version), designed precisely for organizations with lower operational capacity but with real impact in their territory.
What should entities do now?
- Read the complete regulatory bases published in Order SND/677/2026 to know the eligibility requirements, assessment criteria and required documentation.
- Verify if the entity meets the requirements: being a non-profit entity or social economy entity with accredited activity in programs with minors in vulnerable situations.
- Identify the most appropriate modality: Minimum Intervention Units (general or reduced version) or Special Implementation Actions, according to the organization's capacity and scope.
- Evaluate territorial implementation: areas with lower per capita income have priority, which can be a differentiating factor in competitive assessment.
- Prepare the application in advance, given that the call is already in force as of July 6, 2026 and submission deadlines are governed by the regulatory bases.
- Consult the experience of the 2025 call (11 selected operations in 28 provinces) as a reference for the level of demand and expected scope.
